Tiffany Gift box cake

“The practice of giving and receiving gifts is so universal it is part of what it means to be human. In virtually every culture, gifts and the events at which they are exchanged are a crucial part of the essential process of creating and maintaining social relationships …”. Anthropologist Terry Y. LeVine.

The purpose of giving gifts is to bring joy to both the giver and receiver, promote goodwill, and make for a closer relationship.  However, if gift-giving goes amiss, there is a likelihood of attics and basements full of objects never used or appreciated. I always ask for "perishable" gifts... I think one can not go wrong with flowers or food, so if the receiver does not like the gift, it will soon wilt or get eaten... thus saving a lot of attic and basement space. 

This red hot little blue gift box was a cake for an engagement party where the bride and groom professed to be a gift for each other. What a lovely gift! hope it is the “non-perishable” kind!  Open this gift box and find a passion fruit cake with passion cream cheese filling. As per request of the bride I made it quite tart....  she loved it.
